Own Devices

 I was awake stupidly early again. There was a damp, grey start to the day. Di pottered down at seven, and we had our morning drinks and prepared to take Ellie to school. We left to walk around to Zoe's a few minutes earlier than usual. In doing so, we bumped into Paul (our next-door neighbour). He announced that, having been trying to sell his house for a year or so, he is finally moving out next week. It will be a shame to see him go. He and Ali have been perfect neighbours.

We took Ellie to school and then Di went home for breakfast before heading off to Ramster to meet with Kathie. They had a day planned at an exhibition being held there. I went off for my usual walk. As I walked, the greyness gave way to blue skies, and it turned into a lovely morning.

When I arrived home, I had breakfast and then went back to Zoe's. She had left her freezer door ajar the other night, and now we had to ditch all of the contents. She, of course, could bend properly to empty it, so I provided a helping hand. When I returned home, I was clutching Ellie's iPad. She wanted me to show her how to make a presentation. I installed PowerPoint and checked that it was all working in preparation for a quick lesson after school.

I went for another walk as it was such a lovely day, then grabbed a bite of lunch before settling with the Kindle until it was time to collect Ellie. I brought her back here, and we set about creating a presentation. We prepared the first slide together and included some graphics that we captured as a screenshot from Amazon. Once she had seen how to do this, she created the next slide without any intervention from me. She's a quick learner.

I took her home, then returned to prepare dinner for when Di got back.
